Anyways, I bought a 8 gallon stock pot, yea that is a lot of chili, so we would have a big brewing pot as we get better at this brewing thing. Here is the recipe:
I used 5.5 gallons of water for the boil
Steeped grains for 20 min at 155 degrees
1 oz. northern brewer hops - boil for 60 mins
1 oz cascade hops last 2 minutes
Pitch yeast at 80 degrees
The OG reading is 1.0458 taken at 80 degrees
Let it ferment for a couple of weeks then we bottle in preparation for our Weekend at Wesley's!
This turned out to be a really good beer. Not exactly like Anchor Steam but a good beer that I would make again.
Sounds like you're getting into this beer making. Let's get drunk!
ReplyDeleteAs for a name, why don't you go with the "columbus steamer" a knock off of the cleveland steamer....

I don't think that will be an appropriate name...and how did you find that?
ReplyDeletedon't worry about where I found it. I think that deserves its own post. How about naming it......Really all I can think about is the Cleveland Steamer. Sorry if I ruined this one for you!!!
